16:16 <robclark> bamse: btw, I noticed that 7c windows laptops can be had now.. for cheap.. not sure if that is something on your radar.. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-galaxy-book-go-14-0-led-screen-qualcomm-snapdragon-7c-gen-2-processor-4gb-memory-128gb-emmc-silver/6466552.p?skuId=6466552

16:21 <bamse> robclark: there's a blip on the radar, but it's not something i've looked at

16:26 <robclark> a bit curious how much the delta would be compared to 7c things with LC firmware.. I *guess* it should be roughly similar to the differences between cheza and sdm850 windows laptops?

16:34 <bamse> yeah, it should be quite straight forward

16:38 <robclark> I wonder if they ended up using the same eDP bridge.. although I guess there aren't _that_ many choices out there, so if they aren't it is a good chance they are using the parade bridge that will show up in some of the 7c chromebooks

17:52 <steev> 4GB ram smh

17:52 <steev> it's 2021, cmon manufacturers

17:53 <bamse> steev: well, that's before the firmware steals 25% of it

17:53 <steev> exactly

17:54 <steev> also, i tried this weekend to poke at audio and failed miserably

17:55 <steev> but that, was kinda to be expected

18:17 <robclark> there might be an 8GB variant.. not really sure.. I think there is also an LTE variant (but that one is not LTE.. so fw isn't stealing quite as much of the RAM)

20:18 <steev> stupid question

20:18 <steev> why does LTE need ram?

20:22 <robclark> well, wifi does as well.. but LTE is larger more complex modem

20:22 <broonie> The modem is a computer.

20:22 <robclark> right

20:22 <broonie> You *could* solder separate RAM, or you could just carve off a teensy tinsy amount of the massive RAM you've provided for the system.

20:23 <steev> ah, right, okay, i just figured it wouldn't need *that* much memory

21:25 <steev> woo, lukasz is gonna fix the boost bug

21:27 <steev> we boutta get more performance

23:03 <steev> well, bluetooth audio works kinda good once everything gets settled
